I'd like to share my newest shadow box today. I cut the box with my silhouette cameo. The frame is covered with homemade tissue paper. I used stamps from Rubber Dance and Viva Las Vegas Stamps and adhered the tissue paper with Gel Medium. The script background stamp comes also from Rubber Dance. My sentiment is from the Visible Image "White Rabbit" stamp set.

To give the background more texture I adhered some die cuts from Cottage Cutz with Gel Medium before I covered it with Gesso. I colored it with my Neocolor II waxpastels. The butterflies are from Viva Las Vegas Stamps and the leafy branche are cut with a Die-Namites die from gelli printed paper.

I used papers from Studiolight. I also used the Dutch Doobadoo Party stencil with some Distress Ink. My base is a piece of cardstock that measures 21cm x 15cm, scored at 6cm and 14cm. I use a the embellished banderole to hold the envelope close. All stamps are from Rubber Dance.

I designed the background with some homemade watercolor mists and stencil by MFT and TCW. You need some drops of liqhid watercolor, water and an empty spray bottle. You can add some perfect pearls to get a glimmer mist.

Supplies:ca. 50g White and 50g Pearl Fimo (or similar clay, any brand)Stamps and other stylus toolsPasta machine would be good, also a cutter bladeAcrylic paint (anything dark, I mixed black and brown)Elastic cordSome twineBone folder Something round like a marmalad glass, a glass bottle or something like that with a diameter of nearly 8-10cm (cover it with aluminium foil)Any bead for the closure Sharp kitchen knifeOf course an oven to bake the clayWaterproof sandpaper (about 300 grit)

You
will need different sheets of your clay mixture (white and pearl). One
for the backside, one for the middle part and one for your stampings.
You should choose the size you need and want. I used a length of 19cm
and a height of 6cm (fitting my highest image). I conditioned the clay
with my pasta machine using a middle setting.Step 2:

Stamp
your images by spraying your stamps with some water (so that the clay
will not stick to it) and press it into your clay. It might be a good
idea to test this process first on a piece of scrap clay. Just to get
some feeling for it. Be sure to clean your stamps very well after you worked with polymer clay!!!

Sorry, I missed it to take photos of this step. Take your bone folderand
press it into your bracelet where the single parts should be cutted
after baking. Press it not too deep. Take your "construction" and lay it
arround your glass (or other round and heat-proof object). Tie the ends
of your thread together to fix it. Now you can put it into the oven by
following the clay manufacturer's instructions.

I covered every page with gesso first to give them more steadiness. I created the background with the Gelatos and the Dutch Doobadoo Bubbles stencil. I added some washi tape to the edges of every page.
